Altenew April 2022 Spring Garden Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Hi! I hope you are enjoying this amazing new release and the special blog ho celebrating it! You must have arrived here from the blog of Linda Westfall.

I have three cards for you today.

Card #1:

My first card features the lovely Vibrant Florals Hot Foil Plate and Simple Coloring Stencil.

Since I don't have a hot foil machine yet, I decided to try heat embossing with it. I applied embossing ink to the plate and ran it through my Big-shot. I sprinkled metallic copper embossing powder over it and heat set. It worked much better than I expected! I also liked the grungy effect I got because my plate shifted slightly in the die-cutting machine.

I colored the flowers using the Vibrant Florals Simple Coloring Stencil. The sentiment is from the PAF Gerbera Revolutions Stamp set. I attached the Ultra Sticky Double Sided Tape towards the bottom of the card and poured mica powder over it. After tapping off the excess powder, I buffed it lightly with a tissue. I popped up the sentiment panel over this.

To assemble, I trimmed the stamped panel, rounded the corners and popped it on a dark blue card base with foam tape. Here is another look at the completed card.

Card #2:

I used the lovely Ornate Door die set for this card.

I layered two papers in shades of gold for the card base. The die-cut is cut from a cream and gold marbled sheet. The butterflies and the sentiment are both from the Ori-Kami Stamp set. I colored the butterflies with my Zigs and then fussy cut them.

Card#3:

I really love the intricate Lacy Doily Die.

I die-cut the Lacy Doily Die from yellow, orange and dark orange papers. I adhered the die-cuts to a bright green card base. I also added some splatters of gold acrylic paint. The sentiment is from the PAF Gerbera Revolutions Stamp set, heat embossed with metallic gold embossing powder.

Card #4:

My final card is a stash buster made with lots of scraps of colored cardstock.

I simply cut different papers into strips and adhered them on a rectangular panel. I trimmed the panel to fit a A2 size card base and glued it on top. I cut the Antique Blossoms die set out of black card stock and carefully glued it on top of my striped panel. The sentiment is from the Garden Rose stamp set.
